Pirelli’s New Motorcycle Sport-Touring Tire

Pirelli have released an interesting new tire meant for those special motorcycles that can go really fast, and do this for a very long time. The main targets for the new Angel ST tire are the Yamaha FJR1300, Suzuki GSX1300R Hayabusa and Kawasaki GTR 1400 motorcycles, but other motorcycles can use it as well.

Apart from a longevity (which in todays economic climate is a plus point), the new tire adds excellent cornering capabilities, and added side grip for those of you who really like to take those curves.

Another interesting detail on the Pirelli Angel ST tire is the little Easter Egg they have incorporated in the thread. When you start out riding your motorcycle with the new tires, the thread's pattern has an Angel drawing.

After some 600 miles, the angel will transform into a devil. Nice little touch....

Note: The red lines in the tire profile are mine.

The Angel ST tire was tested in a 24 hour ride using a Suzuki Hayabusa. The bike raced 3191 miles on a single set of tires, setting a new record.
